Roy, Tara

Mrs. Tara Roy

I have been an educator for 20 years. I started my teaching career in Johnston County in 1997 and am thrilled to be return in my current role! I have worked as a classroom teacher, state education consultant and curriculum administrator before coming to Polenta in 2016 as the Literacy Coach and I am so excited to be teaching kindergarten! The classroom is really where my heart is! I have had the opportunity to present literacy research and best instructional practices at both state and national conferences. I am very passionate about literacy and believe that the ability to read and write are true super powers that ALL children possess!

I live in Apex with my husband, daughter and our 2 dogs.

A few of my favorite things:

My favorite flower is the sunflower, but I love all flowers!

My favorite candy is dark chocolate, but I can have very little sugar, so sweets are a real treat for me!
